Tho 'croddy Drawer" Of Cey,ou.

The drink called "toddy" is the juice
extracted from the cocoanut palm, and is
collected In earthenware pots called
''chatties," into which the sap runs dur
ing the night from an incision made in
the spathe. In the morning the "toddy
drawer" connecting his feet by piece
of rope, swarms up the smooth trunk of
the tree with which he intends commen-
cling operations, and, having reached the
lofty summit, he empties the contents of
the chatty into vessel attached to his
waist. In order to save himself the fa-
tigue Of descending each tree and ascend
ing the next in succession, he passes from
one to another by means of two ropes ON
emo Of which his bare feet rest, while
with his hands he holds on to the other.
These ropes in course of time become
untrustworthy from exposure to weather,
and have to be occasionally changed.
But too often the unfortunate rope
walker, grown careless by long immun-
ity from accident, neglects TO renew his
perilous bridge, and the swapping of
either rope causes his death. We're the
lower rope to break, there might still be
hope of clinging to the other, and so
working his way along; but should the
upper one break, obviously there is little
chance of his saving himself, even though
the other remained sound. From this
comes the proverb: IF the supporting
rope breaks ones mainstay is gone. -

Leng Distance Telephoning.

Long distance telephoning has become
such an accomplished fact that at the
principal pay telephone stations in this
city long distance telephones have re-
placed the ordinary telephones, and con-
nection can now be made with Boston
and Philadelphia. II. L. Stoddard, the
New York correspondent of The Philadel-
phia Press, says that at his Office in this
city he has secured connection with his
Office in Philadelphia by long distance
telephone, over which he nightly trans
mits all his news instead of using tele-
graph service. The Philadelphia News
has similar telephone connection with
this city. The distance from New York
to Philadelphia is ninety-five miles, but
The sound of the voice is transmitted
much more clearly than by telephone in
this city, where the induction caused by
the enormous number Of wires covering
the city closely is so great as to seriously
disturb transmission. The use of the tele-
phone in the sending of news has not
been sufficiently tested to compare it
thoroughly with telegraphic service, but
Mr.. Stoddard says that it has many adj
vantages, and predicts that it will come
into general use.-New York Tribune.

Real Turkish Candy.

There is q peculiar story in relation to
the large, creamy looking blocks Of candy
that have been peddled around the streets
for the last month or go. and story, too,
With romance.
Several months ago Turk strolled into
an uptown confectionery and made some
purchases in the candy line. He re-
marked after eating q few that the flavor
was pretty good, but far inferior to q
certain concoction known to his country
men. The proprietor began to grow in
terested, and before tho Turk had left
agreed to employ two of his cousins, who
were candy makers in Turkey, If he (the
Turk) would import them. Some two
months later the Turks arrived ON the
the steamship Helvetia. BY relating some
wonderful yarns of their abilities as
candy makers the emigration commits
sioners allowed them to pass, although
they had doubts as TO whether or not they
were contract labor"
They went to the confectioner and for
several weeks made 'real Turkish candy"
on O salary. Two weeks ago they
''struck" for higher wages, and not get
ting them left in huff. They hired a
little place over ON the east side and put
out gaudy business sign.-New York

An Interesting Experiment.

A highly interesting as well as instruc-
tive experiment in night signaling at sea
will be tried ut the first favorable oppor-
tunity. The new method is one suggest
ed by Mr.. Edison. 1t consists in throwing
the rays of tho electric light on the
clouds. The clouds, thus acting as re-
Electors, permit tho flashes of the light
being seen at a very great distance. The
regular system of flashes of different
lengths can DO utilized in this manner by
corresponding them with the dashes and
dots of the regular army and navy code
of telegraphy. This system could DO used
to great advantage where tho means usu-
ally employed wonld be inadequate and
unreliable. The present manner of send
ing messages at night between different
vessels consists of the common torch,
which is used in the same manner as the
"wig wag" flag in daytime. Newport

Ono of the most beautiful of modern
inventions--it remains to be seen whether
il is as useful as it is beautiful-is the in
strument devised by Mr.. John Robertson
for the transmission of writing by elec-
tricity. Out Of the top of box, which
is about the size OF AN ordinary dispatch
box, protrudes what has the appearance
of stylographic pen. This, however, is
not pen, but sthe handle Of the "trans-
mitter," and its lower end. is fixed to q
light brass perpendicular bar. Any mo-
ton given by the hand-you hold it just
like q pen-to the handle Of the trans
mitter is communicated by this bar to
two series Of carbcn disks contained
within the box, and, after various ad-
ventures among magnets, ETC., is carried
again to the top of the box. where it is
reproduced exactly by small ink hold
ing pen, whose point rests on a white
paper tape. A clockwork apparatus pulls
this tape along at gentle pace, and after
a little practice you find that it is quite
easy to move the handle of the transmit
ter SO that the pen shall write legibly on
the moving tape. Now, whatever il
written on the tape before you is written
simultaneously mile off, or it may be
fifty miles off, on similar tape by sim
liar instrument at the ether end of the
wire. Tho instrument is very compact
and apparently efficient, and is quito
silent. A name will be wanted for this
machine. Perhaps the "wire writer"
will do.-The Argonaut.

Tho Circular generally states that the
cortege will be formed at the house of
the defunct. The more intimate friends
assemble in the drawing room, where
they are received by the nearest rela-
tives OF the deaoased person. Mean
while The coffin has been placed in the
doorway of the house, which has been
converted into a sort of chapel. The
opening is draped with heavy black
hangings bordered with silver fringe,
and often embroidered with the arms
or initials of the deceased.
If the ceremony ID to be a religious
one-it is very rarely a "civil" one
the friends sprinkle the coffin with holy
water, which is placed at the head IN a
silver-plated vessel, together with q
brush. When the procession is formed

and chant, but in Paris they always
head the cortege in a carriage. The
general body of followers frequently
number several hundred.
1t is characteristic of a French funer.
al that the procession.includes people OF
the most contrasted positions in life.

Curioslties of Courtship.

A California miner having amassed
quite a fortune, was returning by ship
to New York to visit old friends and
10 find himself a wife. A young
woman on board the ship, serving in
the capacity of nursery g%overness to
the family of a merchant on board,
pleased him much by her neat and
modest appearance. He therefore in
troduced himself one day, and broke
the ice of his purpose with one reck-
less plunge: Madam my name is
- my parents and family reside
in New Hampshire; 1 have property
amounting to 5000, 600, and expect to
engage in business in -. l am. a
perfectly temperate man, and l can
give you good reference to testify TO
my general upright character. l am
unmarried and want a wife; will you
marry me?" The lady took in the
character of the sutton at once. ..Thank
you,'' said she. 81 will" and on land
ing they were forthwith married.

Who fears to put 1t to the touch

matters to a crisis Immediately.

and more daring who told her
admirer that she was a mind-reader,
and could read wha. was going on in
his mind at that moment; that he
wanted to propose to her but did not
know how to do it, which, OF course,
relieved the young man from his en-
barrassment permanently.
